I agree. Kids that young may be reading them, and they may get some of the low humor jokes...(ie Ron's Uranus line) But in truth I just don't think they can grasp some of the deeper details of the books. Granted, I sometimes think that we older fans tend to over analyze, but still. It's like with my 11 year old nephew playing Final Fantasy VII. He really has no clue about a lot of the story line because he never really comprehends it. He just runs around fighting battles. When it comes to PS/SS I think that anyone could read it. In CoS there are some details that I really don't think a younger audience could grasp. PoA may be alright for most audiences... I didn't think it was that heavy of a book. Now GoF and OotP should really at least be read by the kids parents first if they're really young. Then again, with all the violence in the media, movies, and video games it wouldn't be surprising at all if the violence/killing/deep stuff didn't face the youth audience at all.
